With that said, Schlieper has put Arsenal on alert with comments regarding where his client could play football in the 2020/21 season amid links to Inter Milan.

"No one from Inter called to get information. It was just news from journalists. La Liga, the Premier League are all important leagues for him," he added. "Right now even Serie A and Inter are, certainly not like in the 90s. I don't know what will happen in a year from now.

"If from next season, Inter, Juve or some great team will want Nico, he would obviously be interested."
